Watch the news this morning and reports said that there had been huge dropped of passengers on the trains. Can't blame them for being way too cautious.
Even at the church there had been lesser people, then it got worst with the false bomb threat.
The last time I got into a crowded place was at the payment center and one of the customer cough with his mouth closed.
It's really affecting the whole country now it seems, they even consider locking down the entire National Capital Region, which is nuts.

Yes it is because the mode of transmission of the virus is still person to person. That is why schools had to be stopped since the movement of people are flocking to this places can be an ideal spot to transfer the virus from people flocking together. Just one infected/carrier person is needed to pass it on a crowded place and it could spread further when this people goes home and started passing it to their love ones and neighborhood.

Hello @rsa101 Yes it was told it can stay in the surface for almost three days. Being clean is necessary and always have disinfectants.

@Letranknight2015 I also know that the virus could not tolerate heat. Since we are going to summer most probably it will help in eradicating the virus

It seems that governments take the same steps in order to combat corona virus. Let's see if these measures will be useful.

@Letranknight2015 Personally, I am afraid of quarantine. But only if it is with other people. If it is at home, than no problem. I have not left my home since Friday.

Sad to say quarantine is the strong solution for the moment @rappeter13

That would be a great disaster economically and financially to lockdown NCR. If there's enough testing Kit it won't resort to that drastic plan.

Sadly, they only have 2000 testing for the entire country @Nakitakona It's already a disaster as it is.

@Letranknight2015 Hello, here thank God no, everything very calmly, I think that my country has already suffered enough and we have gone through so much that we have already learned from these experiences in terms of staying at home and not contributing to the hoarding of items that we do not need.
